<p>Im really confused, is Penn State an Ivy League School?</p>
<p>No, but University of Pennsylvania is.</p>
<p>I hate when people confuse them...same thing with BU and BC. If people ask if i'm going to BC one more time imma scream.</p>
<p>Also, University of Chicago is not University of Illinois at Chicago.</p>
<p>Stanford is not part of the Ivy League. Nor is MIT.</p>
<p>Amherst College is not University of Massachusetts at Amherst.</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>I wouldnt say thinking Stanford/MIT are Ivy leagues is as bad.</p>
<p>Iowa is not the Potato State nor home of the Buckeyes.</p>
<p>Trust me, it happens more times than I'd like.</p>
<p>Ponies and foals are two completely different things.</p>
<p>Same confusion exists between Pomona College and Cal Poly Pomona.</p>
<p>And Wash U is NOT in Washington.</p>
<p>My nephew at Wesleyan says he gets- "Wesleyan, I thought that was a girls' school."</p>
<p>i dont get how anyone could confuse UPenn with PSU..its pretty easy to tell the difference between the two</p>
<p>and northwestern is not associated with northeastern, southwestern, etc.</p>
<p>Uhhh, UC Berkeley shouldn't be confused with Berkeley College, Berkeley College of New York City, or Berklee College of Music.</p>
<p>...yeah.</p>
<p>/distinctions</p>
<p>Columbia University is not the same as Columbia College (in Chicago).</p>
<p>Cornell University is not the same as Cornell College.</p>

I hate you :)</p>
<p>UM and UM - Michigan and Miami</p>
<p>CMU - when in the state of Michigan = Central Michigan; CMU = Carnegie Mellon everywhere else</p>
<p>Indiana and Indiana in Pennsylvania(BTW - ***?)</p>
<p>Michigan State and Mississippi State.</p>
<p>A lot of that is just initials though, so it makes sense.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not to mention UW- Wisconsin and Washington</p>
<p>USC = University of Southern California = Private School = Not that public school in South Carolina!</p>
<p>S.H.I.T. = South Harmon Institute of Technology though</p>
